St. Bonaventure's men's basketball squad is set to meet Penn State in a preseason exhibition on October 17, marking a rare reunion between the two programs.
The contest will take place at the Key Bank Center in Buffalo, New York, as part of the inaugural Greenlight Network Preseason Showcase, an event designed to boost the university's visibility in the local market.
A Milestone Meeting After Three Decades
The all‑time series stands at 11‑10 in favor of St. Bonaventure, but the two schools have not faced each other since the 1990‑91 season, adding a sense of anticipation to the upcoming clash.
Bob Beretta, Vice President and Director of Athletics, said he is excited to see the team return to Buffalo, while new head coach Mike MacDonald added that the game offers a valuable opportunity for the program to showcase its progress.
The showcase will open with a matchup between Daemen University and St. John Fisher, setting the stage for a series of games that will highlight emerging talent across the region.
Details regarding tipoff times, ticket sales and broadcast coverage will be announced in the coming weeks, allowing fans to plan their attendance.
